Every year as we celebrate the World Water Day (March 22nd), World Plumbing Day (March 11th), and Earth Hour (March 24th), Kirloskar Brothers Limited (KBL) and its subsidiaries emerge as the key players in the drive towards a more sustainable future. For over a century, KBL has been synonymous with fluid management solutions, and today, its commitment extends beyond pumps and valves to championing responsible water and resource use.
Leading the Charge
• Efficient Pumps, Reduced Carbon Footprint: KBL’s constant innovation focuses on developing energy-efficient pumps. Its energy efficient range boasts of significant reductions in power consumption, translating to lower carbon emissions and environmental impact.
• Sustainable Manufacturing Practices: KBL and its subsidiaries like Kirloskar Corrocoat Private Limited (KCPL) prioritise sustainable manufacturing. KCPL’s anti-corrosion coatings extend the lifespan of equipment, reducing waste and resource consumption.
• Empowering Communities: KBL’s expertise in executing irrigation projects, including some of the world’s largest irrigation projects, is attributed to its capacity to manufacture large size pumps and manage end-to-end projects.

World Water Day and Beyond
On World Water Day, KBL reiterates its commitment to Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6): Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. Through its efficient pumps, irrigation solutions, and community initiatives, KBL strives to bridge the water gap and ensure equitable access to this vital resource.

Beyond Awareness, Action
KBL’s commitment to sustainability goes beyond symbolic gestures. It actively partners with governments, NGOs, and communities to implement impactful solutions.
As we celebrate these global water and environment days, KBL stands as a testament to the power of innovation and collaboration in building a more sustainable future.
